Hi everyone,

Should we use templates for signatures? I propose that we shouldn't use templates for signatures.

Support - If A LOT of people use templates for signature, then people might have a hard time finding templates. Also, if people make a template for a signature "cough cough" Dunn's signature "cough cough". ŖЁĠÍ§Ť3ŔΣĎ ₵ΘИ†®|฿ŪŢÖṜ ^Hi 01:55, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
Support - provided they are located in user namespace (preferably under _that_ user's name) this keeps pagecount real and provides an outlet for exubrient users. additionally it cuts down on source jargon as illustrated by RC above. plus i made mine before finding this forum as its in my prefs for wikia.

Why shouldn't we? I think it should be optional. Many signatures are quite long and it would be simpler and better looking if they had it in a template. Take my signature on the Call of Duty wiki for example, without the template it would look like this:

[[File:20755-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Happy-Boy-In-Uniform-Holding-A-Basketball-On-His-Hip.jpg|25px|link=User:Happy Boy/Special:Contributions/Happy_Boy]][[User:Happy Boy|'''Happy Boy''']] ''Whats up?'' [[User_talk:Happy Boy|'''''T''''']] [[User:Happy Boy/Thoughts of me|'''''M''''']] [[Special:Editcount/Happy Boy|'''''E''''']].

So I personally think that signature templates should be optional. After all, it is optional on the Call of Duty wiki just for an example. Happy Boy^(Talk?) 22:30, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
